In the good old days, when

no French father in his right senses

his daughter.
In those forgotten times only six
years ago. by the calendar marriage
in France was no laughing matter.
In fact. It was etrlctly business, and
business of the most serious kind,
requiring the services of a couple of
corporation lawyers, a squad of no
tary publics, a private detective or
two, a certified accountant, and possi
bly an alienist and a medical specia
